Lyrics

[Verse 1]
That's right
Life is funny, ain't it?
Sometimes you can end up with
Somebody you really don't wanna be with
And others left to figure it out
Check it
[Verse 2]
She was more than a woman, a goddess for all it seems
All I ever needed was her right here loving me
For a while, we were cool and the groovin' love was on
But I still remember how it felt when our love was gone
[Verse 3]
In a tattered picture book
Was a photograph she took years ago
Secret memories in her mind (Secret memories in her mind)
How could love be so unkind?
Heartbreak time, my heart is breaking
[Verse 4]
Faded pictures in a broken glass
Broken glass
Like a mirror revealing
(I see, I see)
What the woman is feeling
Was it someone from a distant past?
(Way back long ago)
'Cause it's breaking my heart
(My heart)
To watch her stare into the glass
(Joe help me out)
[Verse 5]
As she turned through the pages
The tears rolled down her face
I could see her reminiscing
Why her life had to be this way
Then she stopped and she came to a page
Where her diary ends
To smell the scent of an old rose
From her lover I suppose
[Verse 6]
In a tattered picture book
(Tattered picture book)
Was a photograph she took (She took) years ago
Secret memories in her mind (Secret memories in her mind)
How could love be so unkind? (unkind)
Heartbreak time
[Verse 7]
Faded pictures in a broken glass
(Oh baby)
Like a mirror revealing
(Like a mirror revealing)
What the woman is feeling
Was it someone from a distant past?
(Was it someone from a distant past?)
'Cause it's breaking my heart
(It's breakin' my heart)
To watch her stare into the glass
(Stare into the glass)
[Verse 8]
Just keep spinning
As she stares into the glass, I'll be waiting
'Cause she's lost inside the past
Just keep spinning
As she stares into the glass, I'll be waiting
'Cause she's lost inside the past
[Verse 9]
Faded pictures in a broken glass
Like a mirror revealing
What the woman is feeling
Was it someone from a distant past?
'Cause it's breaking my heart
To watch her stare into the glass
Faded pictures in a broken glass
